New World Orleans: Microcosm for the "New
America"Special report on the elite
police state takeover

Steve Watson | September 5 2005

Imagine an America where everyone is displaced. It's
survival of the fittest as all law and order has broken down. Martial law has
been declared with 24 hr curfews, Posse Comitatus has been overturned and there
are troops on the streets shooting anyone who disobeys their orders. Thousands
and thousands of people are starving but the authorities will not allow aid in
any significant amounts. Large crowds are quelled with the use of sonic lasers,
whilst overhead drone aircraft monitor the area, checking for any anomalous
activity.

Any form of Local and State government has been abandoned
and officials have been forcibly removed against their wills. The elite
infiltrators of the Federal Government watch on from afar, in control of
everything, answering to no one and getting fat off the profits of their own
corrupt inactivity which brought about the situation in the first instance. They
like it that way, it suits them down to the ground, why should they do anything
to improve the situation?

This is the nightmare situation of a New World Order
takeover in America. It is what we have been warning the world about for years.
It is no longer some distant possibility on the horizon that our children may
have to endure and fight against, it is here, it is now. New Orleans is a
testing ground for this exact scenario, all this is going on there now. We are
witnessing in New Orleans, the construction of a microcosm for a "New America"
and a New World Order.

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to
break

The overriding issue that is simply being ignored by the
mainstream media is that it was the federal government itself that lowered the
guard in cutting off key funding to protect Louisiana from natural
disasters.

The New Orleans district of the US Army Corps of Engineers
bore the brunt of a record $71.2
million reduction in federal funding for fiscal year 2006.

The Army Corps of Engineers sought $105 million for
hurricane and flood programs in New Orleans, while the White House slashed the
request to about $40 million. Congress finally approved $42.2 million, less than
half of the agency's request

The Bush administration has been cutting funding for
federal disaster relief funds since 2001 while doubling funding in other areas
to pump up the biggest growth in government for decades, easily outstripping
that of Bill Clinton.

"...Among emergency specialists, 'mitigation' -- the
measures taken in advance to minimize the damage caused by natural disasters --
is a crucial part of the strategy to save lives and cut recovery costs. But
since 2001, key federal disaster mitigation programs, developed over many years,
have been slashed and tossed aside. FEMA's Project Impact, a model mitigation
program created by the Clinton administration, has been canceled outright.
Federal funding of post-disaster mitigation efforts designed to protect people
and property from the next disaster has been cut in half. Communities across the
country must now compete for pre-disaster mitigation dollars."

The Bush administration's move to merge FEMA with Homeland
Security meant that the two had to compete
for funding. Straightforward projects that would have massively reduced
the devastation we are now seeing, such as raising houses, were cast aside in
favor of anti-terrorism measures.

In early 2001, FEMA issued a
report stating that a hurricane striking New Orleans was one of the
three most likely disasters in U.S., including a terrorist attack on New York
City!. "The New Orleans hurricane scenario," The Houston Chronicle wrote in
December 2001, "may be the deadliest of all." But by 2003 the federal funding
for the flood control project essentially dried up as it was drained into the
Iraq war.

Walter Maestri, emergency management chief for Jefferson
Parish, Louisiana was quoted on June 8, 2004 in the New Orleans Times-Picayune,
as saying "It appears that the money has been moved in the presidents budget to
handle homeland security and the war in Iraq, and I suppose thats the price we
pay. Nobody locally is happy that the levees cant be finished, and we are doing
everything we can to make the case that this is a security issue for us".

Ultimately, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is directed,
along with 15 other agencies, by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. "It is
FEMA who is really calling the shots and setting priorities here," Lt. Gen. Carl
A. Strock, commander of the corps has
said.

Much of the Netherlands lies
below sea level and after the 1953 flood which killed 1,800 people, the Dutch
launched a major flood prevention program called the Delta
Plan. Engineers fortified dykes and bolstered other water defenses
against a future disaster and there hasn't been one since. Had a similar project been in place for New Orleans and had
Bush not cut the funding, the misery and turmoil being visited on that area
would have been avoided.

Not only is the Bush
Administration directly responsible for the ferocity of this disaster, the blame
also lies with Clinton. 10 years ago, the Clinton administration cut 98 flood
control projects, including one in New Orleans, saying such efforts
should be local projects, not national.

A $120 million hurricane project,
approved and financed annually from 1965 was killed by the Clinton
administration after being approved by the Army Corps of Engineers. It was
designed to protect more than 140,000 West Bank residents east of the Harvey
Canal.

The New York Times has
reportedthat there were vivid reasons to push for the greatest
level of protection. One was Hurricane Betsy, a midgrade storm that swamped much
of New Orleans in 1965. In 1969, Hurricane Camille, the second-most-powerful
Atlantic storm recorded, passed within 60 miles and demolished the Mississippi
coast.

Bob Sheets, a meteorologist who directed the National
Hurricane Center until retiring in 1995, has said that he and other federal
forecasters gave hundreds of talks about storm risks, and New Orleans was always
the case study for catastrophe since the 1970s. He has said of the city
officials: "Essentially they did nothing."

Despite all this, In an interview
on Thursday the 1st September, on "Good Morning America," President Bush said,
"I don't think anyone anticipated the breach of the levees."

Furthermore, the mainstream media, despite several reports
emerging to the contrary, republished Bush's
comments. The New York Times declared that "The response will be
dissected for years. But on Thursday, disaster experts and frustrated officials
said a crucial shortcoming may have been the failure to predict that the levees
keeping Lake Pontchartrain out of the city would be breached, not just
overflow."

This April
2005 article in Popular Science proves that Bush's comments were grossly
inaccurate. "At 20 feet below sea level, new Orleans is a prime target. An
ambitious new levee system would decrease the risk."

As World Net Daily
reported, a year ago, New Orleans reviewed its hurricane disaster plans
after Hurricane Ivan gave the city a major scare forcing the evacuation of
nearly 1 million people from the area. Governor Kathleen Blanco and Mayor Ray
Nagin both acknowledged after the Ivan near miss they needed a better evacuation
plan.

Even the AP
noted at the time, "New Orleans dodged the knockout punch many feared
from the hurricane, but the storm exposed what some say are significant flaws in
the Big Easy's civil disaster plans." The big flaws were that there simply were
no civil disaster plans and FEMA had no intention of developing any.

So it is clear that Officials at
the Army Corps of Engineers and emergency managers and hurricane experts knew
for years, that the levees surrounding the New Orleans area were built to
withstand only a relatively weak Category 3 hurricane. Hurricane Katrina, a
Category 4 mega-storm, thus had devastating consequences. Still funding was
slashed and the disaster was allowed to happen.

When The Levee Breaks I'll
have no place to stay

In the aftermath of the disaster
it has become obvious that the Government has no interest in alleviating the
suffering and helping to restore civility in the region.

In particular FEMA, which has
endlessly drilled for such situations, has been a key hindrance. After the
authorities in Baton Rouge had prepared a field hospital for victims of the
storm, FEMA sent its first batch of supplies, all of which were designed for use
against chemical attack, including drugs such as Cipro, which is designed for
use against anthrax. The
London Guardian reported, "We called them up and asked them: 'Why did
you send that, and they said that's what it says in the book'," said a Baton
Rouge official.

Yet don't think for one second that FEMA is simply
incompetent. FEMA is criminally negligent. FEMA has done nothing to aid the
situation, in fact there have been reports that FEMA has cut emergency
communication lines and has been turning back fuel and water supplies being sent
by outside agencies such as Wal Mart. This is because the Federal Government
wants complete control over the situation.

Even American Red Cross
officials have said that FEMA authorities would not allow them to
deliver aid. "The Homeland Security Department has requested and continues to
request that the American Red Cross not come back into New Orleans," said Renita
Hosler, spokeswoman for the Red Cross.

Even Jack Cafferty, the CNN anchor known for his
straight-talking, has declared: "I remember the riots in Watts. I remember the
earthquake in San Francisco. I remember a lot of things. I have never seen
anything as badly handled as this situation in New Orleans. Where the hell is
the water for these people? Why can't sandwiches be dropped to those people in
that Superdome down there? It's a disgrace. And don't think the world isn't
watching."

Former FEMA officials have admitted that Government disaster officials had an action plan if a
major hurricane hit New Orleans. They simply didn't execute it when Hurricane
Katrina struck. Ronald Castleman, the former regional director for the Federal
Emergency Management Agency and John Copenhaver, a former FEMA regional director
during the Clinton administration who led the response to Hurricane Floyd in
1999, said they were bewildered by the slow FEMA response.

"There are supplies sitting in Baton Rouge for the folks
in New Orleans, but the National Guard has the city surrounded and is not
letting anyone in or out. They are turning away people with s[QUOTE]upplies,
claiming it is too dangerous...Our goverment is KILLING the people of New
Orleans. This is the message I am now sending to all major media sources,
national and worldwide, as well as posting to email lists, blogs, etc. The story
is getting out that the people there are not getting supplies, but the truth of
WHY is not. "

The LA Times interviewed a survivor
who said, "The only thing the authorities have given us is a bunch of
false hope,". she had survived Tuesday through Friday on scavenged scraps of
food inside the cavernous hall. "They just left us here to die."

The Federal response wasfurther criticised by New Orleans deputy police commander W.S. Riley
who reported to AFP that Guardsmen 'played cards' as the chaos unfolded and many
were dying. He stated that for three days there was no assistance. "The guard
arrived 48 hours after the hurricane with 40 trucks. They drove their trucks in
and went to sleep."

There have also been suggestions that part of the
levee around N.O. was dynamited after the first section broke in an attempt to
prevent Uptown (the rich part of town) from being flooded. Apparently they used
too much dynamite, thus flooding part of the Bywater.

Reports
and comments from officials today have indicated that President Bush's
visit is nothing more than a staged photo op.

ZDF News reported that the president's visit was a
completely staged event. Their crew witnessed how the open air food distribution
point Bush visited in front of the cameras was torn down immediately after the
president and the herd of 'news people' had left and that others which were
allegedly being set up were abandoned at the same time. The people in the area
were once again left to fend for themselves, said ZDF. [War And Piece]

"2 minutes ago the President drove past in his convoy. But
what has happened in Biloxi all day long is truly unbelievable. Suddenly
recovery units appeared, suddenly bulldozers were there, those hadn't been seen
here all the days before, and this in an area, in which it really wouldn't be
necessary to do a big clean up, because far and wide nobody lives here anymore,
the people are more inland in the city...The extent of the natural disaster
shocked me, but the extent of the staging is shocking me at least the same way.
With that back to Hamburg." [Daily Kos]

White House officials do not deny that they craft
elaborate events to showcase Bush, but they maintain that these events are
designed to accurately dramatize his policies and to convey qualities about him
that are real.

The Times-Picayune of New Orleans has
called for the firing of FEMA director Michael Brown and has heavily
criticized the government for its awful response.

Jefferson Parish President Aaron
Broussard has charged that Federal bureaucrats have 'Murdered' the Flood
Victims in New Orleans. Yet Broussard also stated that "FEMA needs more
congressional funding. It needs more presidential support . . . FEMA needs to be
empowered to do the things it was created to do."

FEMA is now simply a federalized front group for the
corrupt money hoarding Department of Homeland Security, the Orwellian titled
agency that has nothing to do with security and everything to do with limiting
the freedoms of people all over the country. Local officials no longer have any
authority and have been forcibly
evacuated, even despite the fact that they wished to stay and oversee
the recovery efforts.

Mayor Nagin has also said that the National Guard's
Blackhawk helicopter carrying the sandbags to plug the hole in the levee on 17th
St. Canal was intentionally
diverted away. Nagin was quoted as demanding to federal officials "Get
Off Your Asses And Do Something". Nagin is clearly paranoid about the
whole situation, is running around playing the part of the good cop to FEMA's
bad cop. This sets the table for FEMA to sweep in and heroically save the day at
a later date. Nagin has also
warned "If the CIA slips me something and next week you don't see me,
you'll all know what happened."

Cryin' won't help you,
prayin' won't do you no good

Martial
law was declared in New Orleans midday Tuesday 30th August. Posse
Comitatus has been overturned and the National Guard has authorization to shoot
and kill anyone they deem to be "hoodlums". Governor Kathleen Blanco has
declared that "These troops are fresh back from Iraq, well trained, experienced,
battle tested and under my orders to restore order in the
streets,".

This is a microcosm of the New
America. The
LA Times reported that "their mission simply, is to turn New Orleans
into a police State - to "regain the city" as 1st Sgt. John Jewell has said.
Police have been
ordered to stop saving lives and start saving property by shooting
anyone who attempt to get food and water. The police are looting
themselves to stay alive whilst the ordinary people are starving. This
is the new police state America.

Some of the most sophisticated military equipment used in
the Iraq war to quell the insurgency is now being used in New Orleans. We have
continually highlighted how such equipment was developed specifically for
domestic use and now this has come to pass. Five Silver Fox "unmanned aerial
vehicles," or UAVs, equipped with thermal imaging technology to detect
the body heat of storm survivors, have been deployed in New Orleans.

Also being deployed are acoustic devices for crowd control
and disaster communications, sonic Laser
equipment that is currently in use in Iraq. The device uses magnets
approximately 6 inches tall and 9.25 inches wide to convert electrical pulses
into sound waves, and is capable of aiming sound precisely for thousands of
feet. This allows for the ability to blast out orders that can be heard for
miles and allows for crowds to be fired upon and dispersed by soundwaves.

Those who fall in line with the curfews and the orders are
still treated like criminals in this New America.
Footage has shown that men women and even children are being separated and thoroughly
frisked and searched before being rescued. It seems that survival comes
second to being a civilian subject.

The ground troops have begun
"combat operations" to take this city back in the aftermath from
those they have termed "insurgents". These are terms also being used in Iraq,
but now they fit perfectly here to describe anyone who disobeys or does not fall
in line in the New America. The troops have declared their shock at having to
shoot at US citizens and being shot back at, yet the majority of these people
are deliberately being deprived of food and water by the federal authorities,
they are desperate and have been forced into this situation.

Those who were grabbed in the immediate aftermath were
shipped into the Superdome and simply left there without any aid. This
represents nothing more than a concentration camp as starving and thirsty
refugees were not allowed to leave, trapped until the authorities deemed it
appropriate to move them.

The media covering the event have been appalled by this
activity and the reality of the New America it seems is sinking in in some
instances.Fox
reporter Geraldo Rivera was filled with tears in his eyes and his voice
fluttered with sorrow as he made an on-air plea to authorities to allow the
estimated 30,000 storm victims at the center to be allowed to move to a safer,
cleaner area. "Let them walk out of here, let them walk the hell out of
here!"

Checkpoints have been set up throughout the area to make
sure no one leaves and no one gets in without the say so of the federal
authorities. It is clear that an emergency response should not be conducted this
way. It is also clear that this is no ordinary emergency response. This is a
blueprint, a litmus test for the New America, the police state, the New World
Order.

When the levee breaks,
mama, you got to move

Whilst the disaster evolves it has already been decided
who will restore order and who will reap the profits of the lucrative cleanup
contracts. Dick Cheney affiliated Halliburton
have again been rewarded that task as they have so many times. After
9/11, in Afghanistan and in Iraq Halliburton and the elite government
infiltrators reap the rewards again and again. Last week Alex Jones joked on his
how that Halliburton may get the contract to clean up - the sad reality is that
even the things we joke about are now coming to pass every time.

The agenda is clear, they allow
the disaster to happen, or they manufacture the disaster in the case of 9/11,
and then they reap the financial rewards first and the control mechanism rewards
that categorize their New America a little later.

It has also emerged that FEMA
Outsourced the
disaster plans to political cronies and major donors. They outsourced
the hurricane recovery planning to the Baton Rouge-based consulting firm
Innovative Emergency Management (IEM), Inc. IEM's team partners for the more
than $500,000 contract are Dewberry of Arlington, VA, URS Corporation of San
Francisco, and James Lee Witt Associates. Witt was FEMA Director under Bill
Clinton. IEM's president is Madhu Beriwal. The company was founded in 1985.
Dewberry and URS are engineering firms. IEM is also a Defense Department
contractor and has contracts with the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command
(TRADOC) along with team members Booz Allen Hamilton and Lockheed Martin.

These people all have their hands
in the honey pot, they benefit from such tragic events, wars and disasters every
time

Going down... going down
now... going down....

We have seen recently the
precedent being set for the eventuality we now see unfolding. The constant
ratcheting up of fear based control through the exploitation of terror attacks
and terror alerts. The technology that we have monitored through its development
stages is now being put into place.

Everything we have covered over
the last few years is becoming an actuality in New Orleans at this time. We can
only report it further and get the important information out in place of
controlled mainstream media that refuse to or are prevented from reporting the
real issues.

This is a major event in the agenda for a New America and
a New World Order and it may be a make or break one.

This New America is being
controlled by corrupt elite criminals who seek to achieve the degradation and
enslavement of humanity through war, "revolution," sickness, starvation,
depression, and now "natural" disaster. A disaster has been turned into a drill
for martial law. This is not an accident. It is part of a relentless process of
demoralization designed to make the people accept tyranny and excessive control
over their lives.
